Under the British Mandate (1920-1948), the entire region was known as Palestine.[58][59] Upon establishment in 1948, the country formally adopted the name State of Israel (Hebrew:מְדִינַת יְִׂרָאֵל, Medīnat Yisrā'elⓘ [mediˈnat jisʁaˈʔel]; Arabic: دَوْلَة إِسْرَائِيل, Dawlat Isrāʼīl, [dawlat ʔisraːˈʔiːl]) after other proposed names including Land of Israel (Eretz Israel), Ever (from ancestor Eber), Zion, and Judea, were considered but rejected.[60][61] The name Israel was suggested by David Ben-Gurion and passed by a vote of 6-3.[62][63] In the early weeks after establishment, the government chose the term Israeli to denote a citizen of the state.[64]
